There 10 nothing more marvellous In

position and prospects Of women a.
compared with half . century ago. 80
quietly and insensibly has the revolution
taken place, 90 purely has 1t been the work
Of natural and evolutionary causes, that
few - yet realize its radical character, and
Of those who do, the majority refer It to
little efforts Of their own, which are only

which has swept over the entire world,
from the furthest shores Of the Nile and
Bosphorus to the line Of the setting sun
in our own great Western territories.
Without supplying any echo 10 the
often absurd and extravagant misstate-
ments in regard to the successes of
women, one may, by careful review Of
the ground they occupy and the place
in the background from which they
have emerged, find deep cause for thank
fulness. What they have done, a. yet, 10
not much to talk about except In the
way Of encouragement. What they have
gained ID what everything animate and

that they no longer sit with their hands

NOVEL ILLUMINATION.

How Drunken Caribbees Found whether
Man Was in His Cabin.
Mr.. Ober was one evening alone In his
cabin on one of the Caribbees, when he
heard shoutings in the distance, and
looking out, distinguished two torches,
held aloft by unsteady hands, approach
ing through the forest. As they came
nearer, he made out three persons, who
were singing bacchanalian song, and
evidently intoxicated, though, a. after
ward appeared, they were not 90 far
gone but that they still had their wits
about them.
Acting upon the resolution of the in
stant barricaded door and window,
slipped q couple of cartridges into my
gun and retired to my hammock. By
this time the Caribs were upon mo,
pounding heavily at my door, and shout

treaties and imprecations.

them the more, and at last heard one Of
them say, II will see II he is there's" and
then, later, when I thought they had
gone, heard slight rustling at crack
in the walls, and saw sailing into the
room, one after another, tiny sparks Of
fire, glowing with . greenish phophores-
cent light.
They did not drop inert, these sparks,
nor did they set fire to my hatch, for
they were sparks of the animal kingdom,
elaters, fireflies, two of which will give
out light sufficient to read by.
The little cleaning messengers in
creased in numbers, and the darkness
was crossed and recrossed by fiery trails
OF light; and still the busy fingers Of my
assailants thrust them in more and more.
At last the room became quite light, and
by an inadvertent movement ! exposed
myself.
With shout, they proclaimed the sue
cess of their device, and demanded to be
let in; but this would not do, and after
bowling themselves hoarse, they finally
went away.-EcchdnQe

bsrked almost incessantly, and there
were myrisds Of all manner of crawling,
Jumping and flying insects that bit with
insatiable ferocity. As may be imagined,
We arose very early. One Of my guides,
who had gone down to the pool to poke

tell me there was big boa near at

A PLUCKY WOMAN.

How an Explorsr's Wife sevsd His Iaes
More Than Onos.
The explorer Holub, who, two ysars
ago. on his wedding day, started with his
bride for Central Africa, has returned to
Vienna. He says he would have bean
killed dozen times in the little known
region North of the Zambesi II his WIG
had not been with him. The natives had
never seen anybody before who wore
skirts or anybody who had long hair. snd
they regarded Mrs. Holub g 8 supernat-
ural being, who had the white man under
her special protection. One of the tribes
proclaimed her - their queen. and
begged hard that she remain with them.
The expedition was very unfortunate.
but Mrs. H0lub sustained all its fatieuce
and dangers with fortitude, and re-
turned home in good health. One az

luxury among men than the extrava-
gance Of women. But II may also be
accounted for by the greater indepen-
dence Of women % well % the progress of
the race, for there are mo marriages
or giving in marriage In Heaven"
The truth 10, marriage, which in
wolves maternity, simply demands the
subjective because dependent condition
Of the woman. As nature demands less
IN one way, It requires more In another
the woman who is not the mother, who
has not children to rear and care for,

reliant, In order that she may take
care of herself and procure her own
do both usually tries to do more than
It is possible for one woman to accom-.
plish, and more than any man should
expect.
But there is no royal road to the at
tsinment Of anything really great or de-
sirable for women any more than for
men. The opportunity for achievement
10 not achievement itself. 1t is failure
that makes success mean anything, yet
there is not so much difference between
one and the other. 1t has been said that
. certain number of failures make sue
cess, and why not? A failure is not 80
bad . thing; 1t means at least that you
tried. Successes, unfortunately, make
failures inevitable, and the moment
women enter the arena they are subject
to all the chances of contest, to the wider
action of ignorance and prejudice, to
competition with the bolder and
more unscrupulous.
There is good deal that is traditional
about the feeling that some women have
that somebody is bound to take care of
them, and that If they lose one source of
support another must be provided. Nor
are they particularly thankful for what
is done for them. They are the victims
of "ill-fortune, ill-health and ill.luck,"
while the rest of the world riots in
"good fortune, good health and good
luck" This is occasionally trying to the
"lucky" ones; but then It must be re-
membered by all true and soldierly work
ers that it is not the thankfufness of
others or even our own immediate hap
piness that we are working for, but
the honor and the goodness and the
beauty and the enlarging influence Of the
work itself-that there 10 nothing we
can get out of It that IL half 80 good as

and all our energies into It. That oppor-
tunity which we improve recreates itself
and in time produces . harvest Of op-
portunities and more abundant means Of

and dependence are always saddening
and depressing conditions, but depend
